Life Glimpses with some of our favorite moms

One of my favorite discoveries this past summer (thanks to my friend Chrissy of In My Closet Blog) is GAIA Empowered Women - not only for the colorful fashion and home accessories but also for the purpose. Founder Paula Minnis created this online store in 2009 which employs refugee artisans in Dallas to create the website's goods, all made with sustainable materials. Now available on several online sites, as well as boutiques across the country, GAIA is transforming lives while also transforming homes and closets, including my own! I urge you all to check out the site and support these refugees, and in the meantime, here is a glimpse of the life of Paula Minnis.
